In my case it was. Got an automatic flag on an work composed, performed, recorded, and released by the Air Force Band of the Pacific.

Turns out someone was re-selling it on media and the label had auto-filed all their holdings. So you'd get flagged on every usage.

The sergeant in charge of the correspondence for the band was annoyed but as YouTube is private there honestly wasn't anything they could do (other than write me a polite response to send on that I was correct). I did make them aware of it in the unlikely event someone else asks, though.

Annoyingly enough YouTube doesn't take down the automatic match even when it's a false claim from what I saw.
